Challenging the Status Quo
FOLLOWING A cultural awakening in hockey, change-makers are working to remove barriers, create safe places, develop policy and build programming for diverse populations in the sport. For the past three years, The Hockey News’ Money & Power issue has highlighted 20 change-makers in the game each year, and this year, we’re showcasing 20 more individuals who are making a difference from the top down and/or bottom up. This year’s list combines policymakers with grassroots leaders doing work in their communities to build equitable opportunities, change hockey’s culture and spark a love for the sport in a new generation.

WASHINGTON CAPITALS
NHL VALUATIONS $1.6B FORBES $1.42B SPORTICO $1.75B ROUSTAN OWNERSHIP TED Leonsis AS SOME REGIONAL sports networks struggle to stay afloat, Ted Leonsis and Monumental Sports & Entertainment are doubling down on the business model. Leonsis acquired a full stake in NBC Sports Washington in 2022 and relaunched and rebranded it as Monumental Sports Network this past fall.

NHL VALUATIONS $1.08B FORBES $1.11B SPORTICO $1.25B ROUSTAN OWNERSHIP TOM Gaglardi SINCE 2011, CANADIAN businessman Tom Gaglardi has been the steady ownership hand at the top of the Stars organization. The Gaglardi family made their money in hotels and restaurants after Gaglardi’s father founded the Sandman hotel chain and later the Moxie’s restaurant chain. Gaglardi has continued to expand his footprint with investments in and around the team’s facilities in Dallas, such as a hotel near the practice rink and a restaurant downtown near the arena.

The most pressing concern for Dallas, and many other NHL teams right now, is the tumult surrounding the future of regional…
